Hanscom Squadron Safety

Safety is our number one goal. The safety of our members is the highest priority for Hanscom Composite Squadron. As in our normal day to day lives, participating in any CAP events or missions exposes us to varying degrees of risk. It is the responsibility of each and every member of the squadron to ensure that we perform our roles and missions in the safest possible way we can. With the assistance of the safety officer, It is through your active participation that you will help keep yourself, your fellow CAP members, and our valuable equipment in mission ready shape.

These pages contain information that will allow you to identify and reduce the risks associated with everyday hazards, and that by carefully analyzing them and reducing the resultant risks we can increase overall mission effectiveness. In the process of reducing risks, we also reduce the number and severity of mishaps. Mishaps is a general term used by CAP that covers any unplanned event where injury or property damage occurs.
